Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 7863461" data-attributes="member: 1210">Basically, are you compatible with our play style? This means you need to be okay with a bunch of things:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We have frequent drinking and pot smoking from some members of the group. You don't have to participate, but if that's a deal breaker for you, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I am a tyrant DM of the old school, and maintain strong control over details of the setting. You want to define part of the setting? The way to do so is through your actions in game. If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We cuss, make inappropriate jokes, and are often juvenile. If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">My campaign, by 3e standards, includes "vile" content, including cannibalism, human sacrifice, sexual content, etc. It's not that that stuff is the focus of the campaign; it's that it is in there and I don't shy away from it, and even offer some player-side content to support it (such as a cannibalistic druid circle). If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I run an "Everyone Starts at First Level" (ES@1) game. Even if other pcs are higher level, when you start, you are first level. If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I use fumbles (albeit designed to not screw over higher level pcs because they have more attacks). If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I don't allow content just because it's published by wizards. Drow aren't pcs in my game, they are monsters. Healing spirit? Not just no, but F no. If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We play irregularly but fairly frequently, though I run multiple groups. (Most have significant player overlap with the others.) If that's a deal breaker, we're not the group for you.</li> </ul>If you aren't down with any of that, no hard feelings, but we're probably not a good fit.On top of that, are you a jerk? If so, we're not interested in having you join our group just to screw up the dynamics we have developed over (mostly) years of playing together.EDITED TO ADD: Oh, this is an important one- I am a high-lethality DM who doesn't intervene to save the pcs, and I run a pretty hardcore sandbox. If your first level pcs go to the dungeon no one has returned from in two centuries, expect to die.</blockquote>
